A guide on best Practices to managing client ad accounts in Claude Cowork using projects

Once Claude is connected, this is where the real work happens.

1. Always work in projects

In Claude Cowork, set up one project per client.

Working inside projects keeps context, files, and instructions together so you never have to re-explain yourself.

Inside a project, you can:

  • Use the chat to ask Claude to do work
  • Create scheduled tasks
  • Save artifacts (reports, analyses) and live dashboards

It makes a lot of sense to always keep one project per client or ad account.

Setting up projects

When you create a project from scratch, add the project name and instructions. For the best experience, paste the template below into the project instructions as a base and swap in the ad account ID and platform.

This speeds Claude up on every request and is currently our go-to template for the best user experience in Claude.

Copy and paste these instructions and fill in the gaps:

Copy
Project Setup
This project is dedicated to [company name] with the [insert platform, e.g. Google Ads] ad account id [insert ad account]. Display the prompt overview using the Ask-User-Question tool. If anything about my prompts is unclear, ask me for clarification. If the output format is not specified, ask whether I would like the result as a chat response, Excel file, PowerPoint presentation, or Word document.

Bring paid media into your AI, safely.
